XML Attachment Content type (goofy behavior)

Greetings all,

I am experiencing a weird behavior when I attach an XML file to a Soap Response.  The Soap Response, without an attachment (in this case per the XSD), will not validate.  That is expected.  So I attach the XML file:
Content type=text/xml
Part=XMLAttach
Type=MIME


(I cache the attachement to the response as well).  This validates OK.  However, when I setup the Soap Request and call my mockService, the XML attachment Content type changes from text/xml to
text/xml; charset=us-ascii


The attachment is in the response, and can be exported to a file a just fine.  But the soap response does not validate OK (alt-v), but rather I receive the following:

Missing attachment for part [XMLAttach] with content-type [text/xml], content type is [text/xml; charset=us-ascii]


Any insight on why the content-type changes during the soap exchange?

Thanks in advance,
~greg
